Chris Ledoux Oklahoma Joe Lyrics

Oklahoma Joe Lyrics

He prayed upon the bad ones so wide was spread his fame



From Houston up to Calgary the folks all knew his name



He was the toughest cowboy ever worked the rodeo



This man that they call Oklahoma Joe







His wins were tremendous and the crowds would gather round



The whisky flowed like water when his party came to town



It was the ramblin' life that he loved so



This man that they call Oklahoma Joe







The sands of time were winnin' mighty Joe would not give in



Heavy was the toll he'd pay to lead his life of sin



At the big one down in Cheyenne he got throwed



This man that they call Oklahoma Joe







A silence fell upon the crowd as Joe rose to his feet



At last there lived an outlaw might Joe could not defeat



And gone was all the glory he loved so



This man that they call Oklahoma Joe







On the sidewalks of Milwaukee where the winter wind is cold



His noble spirit broken and his body weak and old



In the mornin' light they found him lyin' dead upon the snow



This man that they call Oklahoma Joe







Take warnin' young cowboy turn back for its too late



Your sin will be recorded in that talley book of fate



You'll die and let the devil take your soul



Like this man that they call Oklahoma Joe
